Brilliant photo of a small boy nicking this blokes inspection lamp, so he can put it on ebay, but what do we think the rectangular white panel is on the top of the tank?

Re: Forum Photo

Looks to me a paper or cardboard notice of some sort?

Anyone have a book ready on what the "31" stands for??

Nice picture, I had not seen it before!

Cheers,

Lex

Re: Forum Photo

I have this photo quite a bit bigger and can email it to any one interested.

So Lex you didn't really study the material on the memory stick I lend you that well?

The 31 on the tank is the 1st Armoured Div Workshop. Middle East, November 22nd 1941. Cheers John

Re: Forum Photo

Is this North Africa?

31 on black was also used by the Provost Coy of Infantry Divisions and Corps Signals from April 1940 with the BEF.

And if there was another digit in front of the 31 we would not be able to see it from here.

Henk, can you send me the complete picture please.

Re: Forum Photo

Seems like it but I have the feeling that it is also a family name. No idea what it means.

Snáði means "small boy" in Icelandic. That photo is from Iceland from
my collection. No more info on it. That is the only photo I have seen
of a Matchless G3 in Iceland. Sadly it cant be my bike as I dont think
my late G3 would have had that fuel tank.
